Rax80 gets low bandwidth behind ATT BG210
Good Afternoon, I have a perplexing low bandwidth on wifi issue that doesn't seem to be solved by putting the ATT router in ip passthrough mode. I discovered I get the max download of 600 mbps bu...
Thanks again! I still would've thought that putting the ATT router in passhthrough for rax80 to get direct public IP and not have to route from 10.x network to 19.168 gateway and then NAT out to public would help but it doesn't. AP mode on the rax80 works great but I lose the few useful features thast it has.

You may want to try and drop the mode on the 5GHz broadcast down to "up to 2400 Mbps (instead of 4800 Mbps)".
Many devices do not handle the 160MHz wide channels very well and the WiFi speeds chokes. But they will handle 80Mhz wide channels and provide the expected speeds.
